As the countdown to Christmas draws ever closer, one Northumberland pub is gearing up for the most wonderful time of the year.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at The Northumberland Arms, Felton and there’s plenty to get diners into the spirit of the season. Festive planning has been underway for months now and it’s certainly paid off, with a whole host of seasonal dishes on offer in the restaurant until 24th December.
With a variety of options ranging from traditional dishes to modern, festive flavours – there’s sure to be something for everyone to enjoy. Start with beetroot-cured salmon or spiced chestnut falafel before enjoying a plate of roast turkey with all the trimmings, crispy duck confit or cranberry nut roast.
Diners with a sweet tooth can satisfy their cravings with an espresso and coconut panna cotta, dark chocolate tart or a Christmas pudding, while there is also a selection of local cheeses on offer. And this time of year is best spent with friends and family, so what better time than now to plan a special gathering?
With restrictions limiting last year’s plans, it’s a great opportunity to make up for lost time by getting the family together in the private dining room, which can accommodate groups of up to 12.
Or, for anyone who has found themselves in charge of planning the work Christmas party, then the Garden Room is a fantastic choice for groups as large as 35.
But Christmas doesn’t have to be a huge occasion and guests don’t need to pull together a big group to enjoy all there is on offer.
It’s also a great place to stop by for a festive tipple and admire the venue’s seasonal makeover – with a whole host of Christmas lighting, garlands, trees and baubles decking the halls. And, while the run up to 25th December is a popular time to visit the pub, why not secure an early Christmas present by planning a future trip?
A staycation at The Northumberland Arms makes an excellent gift, with six luxury rooms to choose from. With attractions including Alnwick Castle, Belsay Hall and Gardens, Northumberlandia and Cragside just a short drive away, there’s plenty to see and do during the visit. However, once Christmas has been and gone, it will soon be time to bid goodbye to 2021 and welcome a new start.
The kitchen team have pulled together some spectacular specials to celebrate New Year’s in style, including baked camembert, pan-roasted chicken breast, roast venison loin and salted caramel parfait.
So, whether the Christmas list this year includes festive feasts, party plans or a seasonal staycation, The Northumberland Arms ticks the boxes for all three.
